OK, this is the third look at the wild-card race in about five days, so it’s much smaller than last week’s edition.

I put together a more comprehensive view of the contenders for Sunday’s paper and it can be found here on the blog, too.

Columnist extraordinaire Sam Mellinger did a much more nuanced, detailed report on the race earlier in the week, and I appropriated (stole) his idea to put the Baseball Prospectus playoff odds for each team. There’s a tie atop the wild-card standings, so there is an extra team in this week’s look.

Some enticing series are on tap. You’ve got A’s-Indians, Red Sox-Yankees, and oh by the way, there’s that five-game series between the Royals and Tigers in Detroit.

Should be a fun week.
